Transcript

Terrestrial Planets vs. Jovian Planets

Terrestrial planets vs. Jovian planets

Similarities:

  • Both Terrestrial and Jovian planets orbit the sun.
  • They were formed roughly at the same time, 4.6 billion years ago.
  • They also have magnetic fields.

Terrestrial Planets

Formation of Terrestrial Planets

3 similarities:

  • Accretion: bits of rock, iron, etc clumping together. As the collide the energy of the collisions converts into thermal energy.
  • Differentiation: After material has crushed together and if the interior heated up enough to melt, then the denser material sinks down to the center and the lighter material floats to the top.
  • Radio Active: The rocks in a planet are radioactive. In the process energy is released. The amount of radioactivity in a rock decreases with time.
  • Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars make up Terrestrial planets.
  • All of the planets have few or no moons.
  • They all have a core made of iron, a mantle of silicates (rock) and a lithosphere.

Differences:

Jovian Planets

  • Terrestrial planets have a solid surface while Jovian have a gaseous surface.
  • Jovian planets are less dense than Terrestrial planets.
  • Terrestrial planets are closer to the sun and Jovian planets are further away from the sun.

3 similarities:

  • Saturn, Uranus, Jupiter, and Neptune make up Jovian planets
  • Jovian planets are the largest planets in the solar system.
  • The are Gas Giants.
  • All these planets have rings.

Formation of Jovian Planets

  • Jovian planets were formed beyond the "Frost Line"
  • They formed from ices.
  • The ices that formed Jovian planets are more abundant then the metals and rocks that formed Terrestrial planets.
